[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthropostar:
I think its worth it, but it depends on what you want from your device.

Do you want to be able to use custom roms, do you need to use applications that need root permissions? If the answere is yes;

and you have the technical intellect to do so, and dont care about losing warranty, then by all means do root it.

If you are happy with the samsung provided software, and dont really need to use any applications that do need root perms, or if you are not sure about anything you do on the computer, then please dont.

If you do decide to root; then its pretty easy, and wont remove or touch the user data that is currently on the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burimi007:
as for warranty i dont really care,i need some of apps that need root,but i read some comments on youtube that i can brick phone trying to root galaxy note,

so is the best way to root with Exynos Abuse without losing data,and does anythink changes at all,touchwiz or anythink or camera does stilll works

best method to root stock firmware is PhillZ kernel......read his OP ...there are multiple options

how much time do you have for xda ? once you root you have to stay tuned to developments on this forum

people root only to realise its best to stay stock...the experience is necessary but time -taking

How to manually root the stock firmware?

Hi,

I've rooted a couple of Chinese MTK6577-based phones from scratch recently, using SP Flash Tool and Android Kitchen to insert CWM. I prefer to root my own stock firmware, that way knowing what it is that I'm starting with.

What is the preferred method of upgrading the N7000 without installing an already-cooked ROM? Will the SP Flash Tool method work, or is there a better way for this device?

Thanks for any advice.

Best regards,

-Warren

Hey I know this isnt device specific but was just curious out of the devs using linux wat distro/version would you suggest for developement of roms. ive heard a lot use ubuntu but i know some of their newest versions are the greatest to use in this area.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 ...there is some crashes right of the bat but nothing big enough to cause any problems building.

Latest updates seem to fix most of the misc crashes...so I'm sticking to this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It's really a preference kind of thing. I have done builds on my Mac, yes kernel too.

A build server I use has ubuntu server installed. On my own build server I use debian unstable, but again, this is my preference. I like messing with experimental stuff ;)

I know some people prefer fedora for their builds, others use OpenSUSE, archlinux, or centos. It's really what you are comfortable with.

Supposedly there is a variant of archlinux called bbqlinux, which is supposed to have install time helpers to install the android sdk parts automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stoneduser8907:
Ya I ended up following a tutorial and using Ubuntu 10.04. Just got aosp source all downloaded last nite haven't got a chance to fool with it quite yet spent a lot of time with Google since found out java6 no longer supported so after about 2 - 3 hours of trying find and install all the dependencies that were not existent now I get to learn what the hell I'm doing and hope not to screw up my phone too much lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You should've followed the aosp tutorial more closely and installed ubuntu 12.04 instead... it's the most recent LTS version available.

Here is a guide you can trust (as with any other articles on xda-u), making sure you have ubuntu 12.04 64 BIT installed for most compatibility.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stoneduser8907:
Ya I ended up going by this.

http://source.android.com/source/index.html

Last time I had installed Ubuntu I remember not being too thrilled about the new looks so thats more or less why I had chosen to go with 10.04. I'll take your advice though its been buggin me to make the upgrade and hey if I don't like it could always go back.

I checked out that bbqlinux that Brian mentioned. Didn't do much yet but got it installed in a virtualbox last night and everything seems to be there like adb and the android SDK and java and all that stuff installed already. Pretty light weight, runs fine inside a VM with a few dedicated cores and a few GB of ram. Didn't play around much more though yet.

If you want something better than Ubuntu use Linux Mint w/Cinnamon. Its Ubuntu based but different. It does not use Unity so that's a plus.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RostokMcSpoons:
My Sammy S2 was being a bit flakey on ICS, with lots of hangs and restarts. So I installed CyanogenMod 10.1. Bingo, everything fantastic. No problems at all. (I *highly* recommend it)

But over the last few days I've had instances where the music player (Zplayer) would randomly start playing music. I worked out it was happening when the external 32GB SD has unmounted.

I've re-installed an earlier version of CM10.1 to see if that was to blame, but it's happened again.

Is this something that can happen because of a software fault, or is my actual phone knackered in some way?

Hi I bought a used AT&T HTC One X off craigslist and repaired the screen. During the installation somehow knocked off the connector that pushes down on the power button area, and the only way to turn it on is by touching something metal to it.. Is there anywhere u can get these tiny caps/circuits? (the small button that makes contact with the metal power button area) not the case button* I don't really want to have to replace the whole flex ribbon cable if not a must.. thanks so much in advanced!:fingers-crossed: (I think from searching around the web these are called *Dome Switches*

It already is set to the adb.exe path that's needed in order for adb to be activated on Windows. That's why we use the cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\sdk\platform-tools

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamcanadian:
Hello,

I noticed that the proximity sensor on the nexus 4 is not a proximity sensor persay, it just detects if an object is there or not (digital on/off). To give you an example, when downloading the following application (Android Sensor Box), testing the proximity sensor would actually give you a number between 0-5 cm. So if the object was 2.5 cm away from the sensor, the software would report 2.5cm and so on. On the other hand, for the nexus 4, when placing a object between 0-5 cm away from the sensor, the software would report 0, when the object is 5cm or greater from the sensor, the software would report 5cm. Can anyone confirm?

Thank you

I just realized something today, my daughter is going to be an android user for life. We were in the room together and she was on her nabi2 multitasking like a pro. Is it wrong that my 6 year old can work technology better than my wife, who is only 30 and grew up with all types of computers.

Well anyways, to my point, my daughter asked me to teach her how to make an android app. I am more of a hardware guy / tech support, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get her into development when I really haven't a clue? I have no problem reading stuff, but want to get her started quickly. Also my computer, the only fast one in the house, has to run windows for my corporate environment and the ssd is too small for a dual boot as its only 120 gigs.

What are your ideas? It would be nice to start her young, but her laptop is ancient and I can't afford a new one right now. Can I get her building in windows? What should I start reading with her? Any ideas will be appreciated.

[Off-topic] Ichigo:
I don't think a 6 year old could comprehend C++ or Java. It requires... how to put this... I guess common sense. You need to make sense of what the code is going to be doing. Like if you add a button in android, you'll first need to name it and define it's id. Then you'll need to set it's OnClickListener. Then you'll need to reference that button and give it a command, and yadayadayada. It requires a sense of reason. When kids are only 6 they haven't fully developed this sense of reason yet...
[Off-topic] ak700:
I know C++ is a bit too early, but QBASIC is perfect. If not, Scratch would be the answer. It's a programming environment with a GUI. Created by MIT for students learning CS50 (a course they have). I can say that would be the best, cause my mom introduced me to that when I was 7.

I performed update, but dont see any difference.

Have also received this ?

Some mine ideas are:

1, I uninstalled facebook by Titanium backup yesterday completely. Maybe it tried to reinstall it back ? But FB didnt appear.

2, I tried some super cr.cked applicatio... Maybe some virus ?

I dont know what to do now. Whether i have some virus in phone and should reflash it, or is it normal, or what ?
